NFL Draft: No compensatory picks for Bears

In the Cardinals' press conference following the season, General Manager Steve Keim noted the benefits of having early picks in every draft round.

Keim turned out to be close, but he undersold his situation.

But today, the Redskins got four picks back, via the NFL's compensatory draft pick formula. Tight end Nick Boyle and defensive end Brent Urban, both pending free agents, along with defensive tackle Willie Henry were also selected with compensatory picks.

Washington earned the highest pick in the third round, plus one in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, respectively. In fact, the Seahawks haven't picked in their original first-round spot since taking James Carpenter in 2011.

Cincinnati has added three picks in the sixth round - No. 210, 211 and 213 overall. The exact formula is not publicized, but with the Patriots losing Nate Solder, Malcolm Butler, Dion Lewis and Danny Amendola in free agency, they were expected to earn picks.

In the Cardinals' overall comp equation, the Cards only signed two offsetting free agents in offensive linemen Justin Pugh and Andre Smith. The New England Patriots and Washington Redskins were the others. And they have two choices in the seventh round; the first was acquired from the Los Angeles Rams in the trade that also brought linebacker Alec Ogletree to the Giants, and the second from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for center Brett Jones.
